Modules Quick Start
To quickly get access to a Redis Enterprise database with a module, you can sign up for a free Redis Cloud database and enable the module that you want to try out.
You can also try out modules with Redis Enterprise Software (RS), RS in a Docker container, or any other platform that Redis Enterprise is offered on, but a free Redis Cloud database is easy, free, and without the hassle of managing infrastructure.
The modules that are currently available for Redis Cloud are:
The steps for getting up and running with a database that has a module enabled are:
- Create a new subscription.
- Create a new database with the module enabled.
- Connect to the database.
Step 1: Create a new subscription
To create a new subscription:
-
Go to Redis Cloud and follow the instructions for creating a free Redis Cloud account. After you create your account, click New Subscription.
If you have a login for Redis Cloud:
- Log in to Redis Cloud.
- In the Redis Cloud menu, click Subscriptions.
- At the bottom of the page, click
.
-
Select your subscription configuration:
- For the cloud provider, make sure that Amazon AWS is selected.
- Select the region to create the subscription in.
- In the Redis Cloud service levels, select the Redis Cloud Essentials 30MB/1 Database level.
- Enter a name for the subscription.
-
Click Create.
The subscription shows a “Pending” status and takes a few minutes to provision. You receive an email when your subscription is ready to use.
Step 2: Create a database with a module enabled
After you create a subscription, you can create a database:
-
Enter a name for the database.
-
Enable the modules and select the module you want to use.
-
Click Activate.
The database is in “Pending” status. When the database is created, you can see the database settings, including:
- Endpoint - The address you use to connect to the database
- Redis Password - The password you must use in your application connections to authenticate with the database
Step 3: Connect to your database
Now you can connect to the database with telnet, redis-cli, an application or RedisInsight.
